Default Exhausting day in Aberfeldy

I don't really want to sound too melodramatic but its been a day and a
half here as I am sure it has been throughout Scotland.

Our wee burn is now a 10 foot wide brown snarling monster and the mill
lade is ferocious. Roads are again under water and i have been bailing
out the back garden sporadically all day. Sepa have been steadily
increasing the warnings all day and now we are "Severe". The schools
were let out early and are suspected to be closed tomorrow.

We have had over an inch since 0900 but I think, I think we are over the
worst, i am fed up to the back teeth of weatheronline radar as I feel
I have been living on that site since the start of November (it is great
really).

The water from the village runs right around out property in a little
river that forms on the dirt track, we have the mill lade on one side
and the burn on the other - we are marooned I tells ya, MAROONED. Every
time I open the door and paddle across the back patio all I can hear is
a mighty roar of water. I am fed up with it. Roll on pressure in 4 figures.
